That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it’s the nature of life to be hazardous—it’s the stuff of living.
His involvement in the infamous WorldCoin provides useful insight into his character.
An oligarch and a degenerate (outside the US many oligarchs have a more or less sober understanding of who they are, although degeneracy among oligarchs is a global issue).
We are all waiting. If they don’t come up with proven revenue opportunities in the next ~18 months, it’s going to be difficult to justify the astronomical capex spend.
I was curious about their methodology for counting “internet shutdowns”.
I live in Ukraine and I have not experienced government run internet shutdowns since the full scale russian invasion. We do block russian resources (pretty easy to overcome via VPN), but that’s understandable as they spread genocidal propaganda.
The internet does go down for some providers when there are longer brownouts, but that’s related to the russians targeting the energy infrastructure. To my knowledge even frontline towns (i.e. 10km to the front) still have internet if there is capability to provide it. I believe towns ~20 km from the frontline are actually exempt from planned power shutdowns when there is too much load on the system (due to russians destroying ~60% of our electricity production capacity).
So I looked into their dataset (direct google sheets link).
And low and behold, this is what I found:
They do explicitly state that “Shutdowns were imposed by external parties in Palestine and Ukraine”, but it seems strange to include such cases considering this is different from the approach used in India.
It’s not like he will be spending the cash exclusively on blow, model escorts and yachts.
Part will go into real investments. And he is well positioned to time an AI pump and dump.
I have zero knowledge about the details and processes involved in security issue disclosure and even I get the feeling something is off about Margitelli’s post.
He can let his findings speak for themselves when they are responsibly disclosed (and then start the sensationalism).
Oh, I think Altman is smart enough to develop contingency plans to maximize benefits for himself at the peak of the hype and leave someone else holding his bags. He is a grifter, a conman, he will say his grandmother is fat ugly whore is he think he can benefit from it while “managing” the PR impact.
That being said, the contrast between the comically bombastic statements about AI utopia (that clearly benefit him financially) and the teenage-level presentation and research (the topics he brings up is serious, it is not enough to shit out a low effort blog post) is a sight to behold.
American oligarchs really believe their shit doesn’t smell.
Did not know that. But that that’s exactly how it is supposed to work.
Mastadon has a huge far right population?
It really is exciting to see alternative battery systems beginning to see wider commercialization.
I am not aware of sodium-ion batteries for home use, I believe it’s mostly for industrial-scale battery systems. I could be wrong though, would be interested in learning more.
In an apartment setting, IMO the current gold standard is LiFePO4 (Lithium iron phosphate) batteries.
I live in Ukraine and we have constant problems with electricity supply (thank you dear russians). At times you have 1-2 full charge/discharge cycles per day on a 1 Kilowatt-hour battery system. Several LiFePO4 systems in my extended family seem to work close to baseline even after 1.5 years (not used daily though).
I have not seen any options for sodium-ion batteries for home use, but this maybe a local thing.
In a more rural/suburban setting, generators work as backup power supplies for most people. Typically only the well off get a high capacity LiFePO4 systems for house setting.
It is very likely.
I was surprised to see that their negotiations broke down because of price/cost as opposed to technology (unproven node and to my knowledge intel doesn’t really have any experience with semi-custom x86 business).
one of the top education videos on the front page is by an occultist about how the wrong witchcraft caused 9/11, another is how the vaccines are going to start killing babies, etc.
This is actually pretty funny. I am glad I am staying away from Odysee.
In general, I am rather skeptical of “free speech absolutism” and what have you, comes off a little parochial to me.
No, TSMC is not supposed to be a permanent solution. Just Arrow Lake.
This would be an excellent law/regulation that makes complete sense.
The major companies can most definitely manage this (although they will cry crocodile tears).
That’s definitely true.
The rested on their lawrels when they were the only game in town from the late 2000s to ~2018.
That would not be a good thing. The CPU/GPU design and semiconductor fab industries are already massively concentrated.
You don’t understand the terms “censorship” or “free speech”. It’s a mere internet polemic for you, something to act out about .
You have no clue what you are talking about.
It seems that the ~$3.7 billion revenue figure is from this NYT article.
Some interesting background:
It will be interesting to see if their predictions turn out to be true. $44 a month seems steep for a LLM, not to mention there will likely be a lot of competition both from cloud LLM providers and local LLM initiatives.
